My buddy has a Simrad NSE 8 and while it does offer "Navionics" as a cartography option...it does not read the card....I even removed the card from the slot..and also removed and reinserted the micro card into the adapter card. Any Ideas?

I don't know for sure the NSE would not automatically recognize the chartware source, but this is worth a try.... as long as his chart chip is not a copy which would have erased the original chip and kept the copy blank I believe, without special knowledge.
